60 County Route 7Pine Plains, NY 12567Sale Price: $695,000

ACCEPTED OFFER. Available: 7.5 lush acres on the Roe-Jan! A rustic-style late mid-century three-bedroom, two bath home sits in a beautifully landscaped property with nearly 300 feet of footage on the Roeliff Jansen Kill in Gallatin, New York. You approach this quiet and serene hideaway by a long a private drive through shady woods. The home, built by a local lumber dealer, provides a warm and inviting interior. Enter the upper level, with cozy beamed pine ceilings and wideboard oak floors: a living room with Franklin stove, dining area and kitchen, plus a bedroom and bath. A long deck overlooks the gardens, and a screened dining porch looks down the hill into woods and the little stream below. The walk-out lower level has two more bedrooms, a second bath with laundry, and a room that could serve as an office, studio, or library. The gardens, lovingly curated over decades by the present owner, are varied and beautiful: There's an herb garden, a fenced vegetable patch, mature berry bushes, many flower beds, and a large woodland landscape along the Roe-Jan. The small stream meanders along one side of the property and walking paths lead the visitor to various resting spots on the property. The Roe Jan is wide and open, excellent for trout, and in this spot, deep enough for a swim. Less than five minutes from the Taconic and within easy reach of towns like Hudson, Rhinebeck, Tivoli and Pine Plains, the home is central to dining, entertainment, and farmer's and antique markets. This is the perfect spot for those who like outdoor activities like canoeing and kayaking, for creative people who want a quiet place to live and work undisturbed, and for anyone seeking a peaceful environment.
